    I love this local Chinese food restaurant . Food always comes out great. I usually get my shrimp with salty egg yolk and snow pea leaves . Staffs are friendly and helpful.

    Large dining area with booths and large round table to accommodate big groups. Noise level was acceptable.

    The servers were very polite and attentive. We weren't rushed to order. The hot and sour seafood soup was flavorful with a slightly different taste, still very good and a nice amount of heat. General Cho's chicken arrived hot and tasty. Inside was very open with booths and many large tales to accommodate big groups.

    Good food that came out quickly for takeout. Would return. Saw this place a few years back and tried it last week when in the area. Glad I did. The menu is more streamlined than when it opened but still has some of my favorites including shredded pork. We tried the following for takeout: Shredded pork in sweet bean sauce - this came with sliced scallions in a sweet bean sauce accompanied by soft pillowy buns instead of pancakes. A nice touch. The pork was tasty and went quickly. Shredded pork with dried tofu - this came with celery in a light savory sauce, with a little more tofu than pork. Very good. HomeStyle stir fried tofu - this came with wood ear mushrooms in a brown sauce and my wife especially liked it. General Tso's Chicken - this came with broccoli and was also good. Parking is in a shared strip mall lot. Had no problem finding a space. Waited a few minutes for pickup as the restaurant was starting dinner rush. I ordered by phone since their online service was not taking orders. Would return if in the area. Note they are closed Tuesdays.

    Chef Zhang is, in my and my fiancé's opinion, the BEST Chinese restaurant in the area. I cannot tell you how many times we've either dined here or have debated dining here. Every time we plan to eat out, Chef Zhang is mentioned by at least one of us as an option. Usually, when we arrive for dinner on the earlier side it's pretty slow, but halfway through our dinner it gets very busy. The service is always good. The servers are very kind, are constantly making rounds to refill our waters (Chef Zhang is BYOB so we always have some wine), and we never feel rushed. Some of our favorite dishes include salt & pepper fried fish filets, minced pork in garlic sauce, double cooked pork belly, and the best scallion pancakes around. You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu unless you can't handle heat as some of the dishes do get pretty spicy. At our most recent visit we ordered the toothpick lamb. It was amazing! The crisp texture, the flavors, the heat. As long as I have someone with me that is willing to split it (my fiancé doesn't like that kind of heat) I'd order it every time. One of my favorite things about Chef Zhang, other than how consistently flavorful and enjoyable the food ends up being, is the portion sizes of each dish as they're perfect for sharing! This is the perfect restaurant to dine with a group of people, order various different dishes, and split/share everything. Some of the round tables even have Lazy Suzans which makes sharing with a group even easier. We're so lucky we have such a quality restaurant this close to home. We'll never get tired of eating here and we already can't wait to go back. Chef Zhang is a must try if you're looking for quality, flavorful, authentic Chinese food.

    fried diced chicken w dry red chili

    traditional chinese restaurant with authentic sichuan food! i've heard this restaurant referred to as the best chinese restaurant in the area multiple times now, so naturally i had to check it out. it definitely didn't disappoint! the food was perfect for family-style, and the portions were extremely generous. everything was so delicious, and i loved that their sichuan food was actually spicy enough. we ordered the chicken in chili oil to start (口水鸡) which was actually my favorite dish of the night. the chicken was perfectly cooked, so tender and flavorful. we also shared the fried diced chicken with dry red chili (辣子鸡) and the stir-fried pork feet with pickled chili (泡椒蹄花) which were both spicy and delicious. the chicken dish is a classic sichuan item, and the chicken was perfectly fried. it actually looked better than the photos, and there was a significant amount of chicken. i was pleasantly surprised by the pork feet, it's not something that i typically would order but i enjoyed it much more than i expected. we rounded all the meat we ate out with the spicy stir-fried cabbage which was fresh and flavorful. we were sat at a booth which was roomy and comfy. there were plenty of open tables available at 7pm on a thursday, but there were several other groups enjoying dinner as well. the vibe is more old-fashioned, classic traditional chinese restaurant. service was good, our waitress was on top of filling our waters. overall, i really enjoyed this spot and would highly recommend it if you're a fan of mala (麻辣). everything we ate was spicy, we didn't try any of their non-spicy items, and i think that was the right move -- it's clear that sichuan-style food is what this spot is so well known for. only complaint is that it's not in the city, but i'm definitely gonna make my friend drive me out here again!

    Green beans
    Ilene S.

    Amazing place. Stopped in Saturday night for dinner and was greeted with amazing smells and delicious looking meals from all the full tables. The place was almost full but we were lucky to get the last booth. We started off with the pork soup dumplings which were small in size but large in flavor. The green beans were crispy, seasoned perfectly and had minced pork. The beef was tender and packed a punch. We ordered everything medium hot which worked fine with the green beans but was slightly too hot for us with the beef. We will definitely be back.

    Smashed cucumber with garlic - must must order. enough for 2-3 people

    Full stop. if you love Szechuan you need to go to Chef Zhang. They've got a totally authentic menu with chicken, beef, lamb, shrimp, but then kidney and intestine and ... you get the idea. It's quite an extensive menu as well. Much bigger than most Szechuan places that tend to hone in on the classics. Next, they rate the spice from 0-3 which seems like a small scale. Well, I can handle some pretty good spice and 1 had me in a bit of a head sweat. So 2 would have been HOT. 3...not sure I want to try 3! There are plenty of 0s on the menu so don't fear the spice. And for those less adventurous, they do have a few standard Chinese American classics on there as well. Service was great. Decor was I'd say above average for a mom and pop Chinese restaurant. Prices are pretty reasonable and serving sizes are HUGE. Did I mention you should go? Yes! You should go. Lastly, always always always get the smashed cucumber with garlic. Always.

    毛血旺 tripe blood pork rind & others
    Emma Z.

    Pretty authentic Szechuan cuisine, the portion size it big, so come with a crowd. Their fish is a signature dish and comes in a large pot. Shareable by 4-5 ppl (if you also order other dishes). We also tried their pickled pepper trotter and the traditional tripe/blood pot (Mao Xue Wang), both were pretty good - if you like spicy foods. Food comes quickly. It's a busy spot even on weekday dinners.

    Chef Zhang - Marlton Spicy Chinese food, "Oh, I could die for you." There's not many more food delights that I have than getting the lip tingling, mouth numbing sensation from Sichuan peppercorns and other hot chili's. When I walked in and saw Lazy Susan's on some of the tables, I knew I was in for an old school treat. Chef Zhangs offers some of your Americanized classic Chinese dishes, but they also have items that you aren't going to find at your typical spots. Some of these dishes include stir-fried intestines with hot peppers, spicy stir-fried kidneys, salt and pepper fried frogs, just to name a few. Those dishes would be a little too adventurous for me to take on all by myself, but if I were to go with someone who has a comfort level eating those, I'd really like to try them and expand my horizons and give them a try! Pictured here are the pork soup dumplings, toothpick lamb with dry red chili, and stir-fried sliced pork with hot pepper. Of course, I asked for everything extra spicy. Everything was exquisite! The spicy heat levels were on point. I appreciate they took my request seriously. The toothpick lamb, the bite of pepper along with the ginger and garlic, oh my, it was just divine. The sliced pork (they asked if pork belly would be okay and I wasn't going to say no) had at least 3 different types of peppers. I have a high spice tolerance, so I was still able to taste everything and enjoy. This is some of the best Chinese food I may have ever had. It's a spot I know I'm returning to next time I want legit Chinese cuisine. Also, I have to note that they brew you fresh loose tea and not something from a tea bag. They don't need bonus points from me, but they get it anyway. Lastly, I don't want to overlook our servers who were so kind to answer any of my questions, patient while I overlooked the menu, and overall did a fantastic job. Please put Chef Zhang on your list of places to check out!

    Sliced chicken with pickled peppers

    If ordering from Szechwan side of the menu, choices are usually fantastic! If ordering from the Chinese-American side of the menu, choices are okay. This place is only one of few in South Jersey that has real Szechwan cuisine. Otherwise, you have to drive to Philly's Chinatown. Service is great and Ambiance is pleasant. Good for families, as well as couples.

    Vegetable fried rice.  Delish!
    Lulu B.

    Delicious, traditional (as in not Americanized), Chinese food. Although some dishes are really salty like the diced chicken we ordered today (see photo) so be careful if you have high blood pressure. But the eggplant + potato and vegetable fried rice we had were excellent (see photos).

I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and I was in town to attend an event. My 5 star rating is for the Bonefish Grill manager, Vince. Since I have a background as a Training and Development professional and I teach classes in Customer Service, I pay attention to the customer service I receive (or not) when I dine at a restaurant. Vince demonstrated he is an attentive and hands on manager. He frequently brought food to the customers and was visible during my meal. On August 1 I ordered the Brussel Sprouts Salad which was delicious and I shared with him the sliced Brussel Sprouts on the top of the salad were hard to chew, so I picked them out. When I came back for dinner on August 2 and ordered the Brussel Sprouts Salad, he had addressed the prep of the Brussel Sprouts and they were much easier to chew. Wow! Vince also noticed my food server had not brought my glass of wine by the time my food arrived, so he got it and brought it to me. Unbelievable! I had a better dining experience because of the manager Vince's attention to detail to all of the operational aspects in his restaurant. He should be commended for a job well done!

We started with the mini crab balls, lobster bisque, spicy garlic little neck clams, clams casino and the hot smoked white fish. The little necks were really good and the sauce was much spicier than expected. It came with a round roll for dipping all that juice. They were really good. The clams casino was the classic I remember, and they were good, not great. The crab balls were very popular at the table and went fast. They were crispy and had lots of crab in them, I believe it was claw meat. The lobster bisque was also delish. The hot smoke whiting was warm, Smokey and flakey with a wonderful taste. It came with hot butter and was so good we ordered a second plate. For entrees we ordered the mussels in spicy red sauce, the broiled combo platter with shrimps and scallops and a crabby cake. Oyster stew, and baked jumbo lump crab meat. All came with coleslaw, and a side. We got onion rings and French fries and they were good. They weren't the cheap onion rings. They were battered not breaded, and thats how I like them. The spicy clams and mussels really had a kick, so be prepared because it was a little too much for the ladies at our table. The oyster stew was not as thick as we wanted and was a little watery. My crab cake was packed with jumbo lump crab and the whole meal was really delicious and filling. This is why this place has stood the test of time!
